<p>Libetarianism isn't defined as you think it is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The poor are generally seen as deserving lower tax rates because, the poorer you are, the more of you income you spend on “necessities,” and the richer you are, the more of your income you spend on “Luxuries.” So if a dollar in taxes has to be taken from someone, it’s fairer to take it from someone who will then have to reduce their luxurie consumption </p>

Crankish; most people have justly acquired their property and 'fairness' is not the point. Just because some people benefit and others lose due to statist interventions does not make it 'okay' to rob them. If anyone has been a victim of robbery and this can be proved they ought to be compensated BY THE PEOPLE WHO STOLE FROM THEM. But individualism is obviously beyond your grasp.

A pure libertarian typically no matter his or her personal beliefs, accepts that government should have not support or promote his/her beliefs.

It does do a better job, stop "poisoning the well". I'm not arguing about it because that's not what this thread is about.

You think states aren't fair. They take from some and give to others. Surely if we were to move a Libertarian system it would make sense to equally distribute the wealth at first to make sure there were not artefacts of unfairness left over from the statest system?

" Libertarians are as liberal as you can be on social isues and as conservative as you can be on economic issues."<br></br>
This isn't true. Libertarians are neither liberal nor conservative in the sense you mean, they are anti-authoritarian and pro-property.<br></br>

"I would like to ask how the hell anyone could be a libertarian? Do they like oil spills and mine collapses?"<br></br>
Lol, if you believe that the government does a better job at regulation than markets and communities you're a crank.…

<p>Libertarians believe that each person has the right to live his life the way he/she chooses as long as he/she respects the rights of others. You can't be against gay rights and be a libertarian. Libertarians are as liberal as you can be on social isues and as conservative as you can be on economic issues.</p>

Justly acquired private property is the only human right.<br />
If you're not an anarchist, you're not a libertarian.
